Career

Ogando signed as an international free agent with the Boston Red Sox.

Philadelphia Phillies

In 2013, the Red Sox traded Ogando to the Philadelphia Phillies for John McDonald. [1] In 2014, Ogando pitched for the Reading Fightin' Phils of the Class AA Eastern League. [2] The Phillies assigned Ogando to the Arizona Fall League, and he appeared in the league's all-star game. [3] After the season, the Phillies added Ogando to their 40-man roster. [4]

The Philles promoted Ogando to the major leagues in August, [5] but optioned him back to the minor leagues without making an appearance.

Ogando made his major league debut on September 9 against the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park. He pitched an inning in relief of Dalier Hinojosa and gave up two runs on a bases-clearing triple by Michael Bourn. [6] [7]

Miami Marlins

After the 2015 season, the Miami Marlins claimed Ogando from the Phillies off of waivers. [8] Ogando began the 2016 season with the New Orleans Zephyrs of the Triple–A Pacific Coast League, and promoted him to the major leagues on May 3. [9]

On December 23, 2016, Ogando was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates. [10] He was designated for assignment on February 10, 2017, following the acquisition of Phil Gosselin. [11]

Cincinnati Reds

On February 14, 2017, Ogando was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds. [12] He was placed on the disabled list to begin the season with a right hand strain. [13] While on rehab assignment, Ogando was shut down after experiencing shoulder soreness. [14] He was subsequently shifted to the 60-day disabled list on May 20. [15] Ogando began a second rehab assignment in August with the rookie–level Arizona League Reds, and was shifted to the Double–A Pensacola Blue Wahoos later in the month. [16] Upon being activated from the disabled list on August 26, Ogando was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Louisville Bats. [17] In 4 games for Louisville down the stretch, he logged a 4.15 ERA with 4 strikeouts across 4+1⁄3 innings of work. He elected free agency following the season on November 6. [18]

Cleburne Railroaders

On February 8, 2019, Ogando signed with the Cleburne Railroaders of the independent American Association for the 2019 season. He was released on January 20, 2020.
